Wednesday

Students were so well-behaved during Mass today. All of the 2nd grade teachers were so proud of them.
In reading we began a new story called, "Meet Rosina". Today we read "A Special Camp". These stories are about how deaf children are not much different than we are. This led to a great discussion about how God made each of us different and we all have different abilities, talents and likes.
We also worked on Long I sound and we reviewed the "ou" and "ow" sounds in out and flower.
We also are reviewing main idea and detail. Students wrote their final drafts on firefighters.
In math we reviewed subtraction and talked about different ways to say an equation. For example,
9-5=4
5 is 4 less than 9.
9 is 4 more than 5
4 less than 9 is 5
4 more than 5 is 9
In social studies we talked about different kinds of communities: City, Suburb and Rural.
